Uncontroversial technical requests
- Don't Matter to Me (song) (currently a redirect to Don't Matter to Me) → Don't Matter to Me (move · discuss) – Even though the article is still being developed right now, this is the only song called "Don't Matter to Me". JE98 (talk) 15:57, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- Louisville Free Public Library, Western Colored Branch (currently a redirect to Louisville Free Public Library, Western Branch) → Louisville Free Public Library, Western Branch (move · discuss) – I would like to request the title name and url of this page be changed to Louisville Free Public Library, Western Branch. While the branch historically was known as the Western Colored Branch, today it serves all people. I think having the name listed somewhere in the article in its historic context is important, but to have it in the title and on the url is problematic for a number of reasons: it is not an accurate representation of the library today, we have had complaints that it is offensive to our patrons, and Google maps and Facebook are constantly pulling the Wikipedia page in searches which makes it look like the Louisville Free Public Library still refers to it as the “Western Colored Branch”. 12.96.67.34
- I formatted this request for a person from the library writing at ticket:2018062810006095. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder → Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (currently a redirect back to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) (move · discuss) – The spelling "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" is confusing (attention disorder of deficit hyperactivity?).
